tBBP Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Imma need everyone to just quit it with the _____skins thing at this point. (And seriously, "Pigskins"? Ain't no grown man football team finna wanna be called that!) I can just about guarantee this new guy is gonna dig a deep well to find a suitable and sustainable name...and hopefully one that rolls off the tongue well, and also isn't too stereotypically D.C.

I can guarantee that the team is just another item in his portfolio, and he'll check out after the initial period of shaking hands and kissing babies. If the financial numbers indicate a rebrand will be profitable then he may appoint someone to run that, but from a "passion" standpoint, I guarantee he really doesn't care. 4 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

henburg Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I think it would be better for Washington to stick with Commanders at this point, feels like a really big ask to get the public to remember and commit to a new nickname for the 3rd time. The name "Commanders" has never really been the issue anyway, it's really just the uniforms that make it stink. I could get on a board with a visual rebrand that commits more to the visual tradition of the team, but the name is not unsalvageable. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't no grown man football team finna wanna be called that!) I agree that we passed the point where the team could be called anything with the 'skins suffix. I think if the team had been more proactive and changed the name before essentially being forced to, Pigskins would have been the perfect choice. References classic football imagery, the team's hog fans, and is close enough to the old name that most people would've accepted it. Considering all the names in pro sports, why would players care at all about being a Pigskin? We've got 2 different teams called the Sox, the Nets, the Magic, the Wild, the Kraken, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 "Pigskins" is the type of name that a single-A baseball team would use for a promotional night. It's unbecoming of an NFL franchise. And don't even get me started on the people who want the Washington Football Team non-name back. Commanders is a decent name. Probably not the greatest name they could have come up with, but also not the problem. It's the logos and uniforms that need a do-over more than the name. 7 1 POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver_Star Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 1978-1990 Jets with 1980-1999 Giants returns, 1983-2001 Seahawks, Buccaneers of the 1976-1996, The Vikings 1961-1969 uniforms. The 1975-1998 Oilers gear, the 1946-1950 white helmets of the Browns I feel like break dancing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had an issue with Washington Football Team, and I actually liked it because it was one the nose (of course they’re a football team) and I think it was a different in terms of North American sports naming conventions and it felt unique and different. The uniforms maybe should’ve had a shift due to three looking the same as the prior name, but I was fine with the numbers on helmets, and the consistency of the look. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
